Mike Rich — Executive Producer and Screenwriter of the major motion picture The Nativity Story

The Nativity Story became the first feature film ever to premiere at the Vatican. Screenwriter Mike Rich told his agent last November that he would like to write a story that many Christians have seen performed every Christmas Eve, but this time without first-graders playing the wise men. Mike has been one of the most sought after screenwriters in Hollywood since his first-ever writing effort in 1998 with the Sean Connery movie, Finding Forrester. He followed up the release of that film with his screenplays for The Rookie (Dennis Quaid and Rachel Griffiths) Radio (Ed Harris, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Debra Winger) and Miracle, the story about the Cinderella U.S. hockey team that defeated the supposedly unbeatable Soviet Union in the 1980 Olympics, which starred Kurt Russell and Patricia Clarkson.

Special Guests

Gary Chapman

Author of Author of The Five Languages of Apology
Did you know that when it comes to apologizing, people speak different languages? The key to good relationships is learning the apology language of the other person and being willing to speak it. When you speak their primary language, you make it easier for them to genuinely forgive you. When you fail to speak their language, it makes forgiveness more difficult because they are not sure if you are genuinely apologizing!
Gary is best known as the author of the New York Times best-selling The Five Love Languages series. He is the director of Marriage and Family Life Consultants, Inc., and travels around the world presenting various seminars. Gary's radio program airs on more than 100 stations.

Barry Slauenwhite

President of Compassion Canada
In our opinion, the best child sponsorship ministry out there is Compassion! This Christmas, instead of buying too many gifts for people who have too much, maybe consider doing something about those whom Jesus loved the most...THE LEAST OF THESE! I've seen first hand the incredible impact your money has with Compassion. YOU CAN TRUST THEM! This Christmas, will you please sponsor a child through Compassion Canada?
If not you, then who? If not now, then when?

Journey

Tammy Trent

Recording Artist & Author of Learning To Breath Again
In September 2001, Tammy and her husband spent a few days in Jamaica - part mission trip, part vacation. On September 10th, Trent went diving and never returned. Tammy spent the rest of the day with rescue divers trying to locate her husband with no success. She woke up the next morning in the home of strangers to discover that the whole world had gone mad. As she waited for news of her husband, she watched the news as two planes ploughed into the Twin Towers in New York - later that day she had to identify the body of her husband. No one in her family could get to her as flights were cancelled. She was held captive in Jamaica for ten more days waiting to return to her family. We had Tammy as our guest in 2005 so we thought we would touch base and see how life has been going for Tammy Trent.

Talkback, etc.

Which is the best way for someone to apologize to you? Does it really make a difference?

Expressing Regret: "I am sorry."

Accepting Responsibility: "I was wrong."

Making Restitution: "What can I do to make it right?"

Genuinely Repenting: "I'll try not to do that again."

Requesting Forgiveness: "Will you please forgive me?"

Saturday Survey - What's the most useless Christmas gift ever?

Carla Winter

Some people have had to endure more than their fair share of trials! Carla is one of those people. 11 years ago she gave birth to a child with serious medical problems, so severe that many encouraged her to abort. As well, just before Christmas a couple of years ago, her father took his own life with a gun , in the same house where she grew up living in terror as this same man abused a number of family members. Where is God in all of this?

Same sex marriage is now here to stay in Canada. Any final thoughts?

Are you upset with Stephen Harper, our "Christian" Prime Minister?
For the second time, MPs voted in favour of same-sex marriage in Canada.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he will respect the vote, adding "we made
a promise to have a free vote on this issue, we kept that promise, and
obviously the vote was decisive and obviously we'll accept the democratic
result of the people's representatives." Harper told reporters "I don't see
reopening this question in the future." MPs voted 175-123 against a motion
asking whether MPs wanted to see legislation drafted to reinstate the
traditional definition of marriage. The House of Commons legalized same-sex
marriage in June 2005. Audio not available

Eric Sandras — Author of Plastic Jesus

Sadly, if Jesus came in plastic, we just might find Him more to our liking. Suburbia might be a fine place to raise a family, but it's a terrifying and dangerous environment for our spiritual well being. Many of us have exchanged the challenge and vitality of Christ's plan for our lives for the ease of a plastic, soul-numbing, comfort-first mentality. Edgy and honest, Eric Sandras seeks to empower readers to live life as Christ intended: with a radical sense of purpose that only He can provide.

Journey

Ted DiBiase — Wrestling's "Million Dollar Man"

Ted DiBiase has held many wrestling titles over his expansive career of 20+ years including "The World Championship Title." Today, after authoring a book about his life entitled Every Man Has His Price, Ted is a full time evangelist and motivational speaker.

In addition, Ted is also a spokesperson for and board member of "The Sunshine Foundation," an organization that grants wishes to and tries to meet the needs of terminally ill and handicapped children. The character of the "Million Dollar Man" was fulfilled by wealth and power and controlled by greed. In contrast, the real Ted DiBiase is fulfilled by his relationship with Jesus Christ and his family, and a controlling desire to do God's will in his life.

Talkback, etc.

Are some professions off limits if you claim to be a Christian?

Do you agree with the decision of a Christian school to kick one of their students out because her mother was a stripper?

If you had a child enrolled there, would you want them being friends with children who might be living in a home with a questionable lifestyle? I mean, isn't that one of the reasons you pulled little Billy out of the secular school system in the first place?

Have Christian trinkets gone too far? How many do you have?

Talking Jesus dolls, WWJD bracelets, sandals that leave the imprint of "Jesus Loves You" in the sand, and those cheesy Christian bumper stickers and t-shirts... how much of this crap do you own? Do you think it really "works"? Will you attempt to "witness" to someone this Christmas in such sly and cunning ways?

Special Guests

Steve Turner — Author of The Gospel According to the Beatles

Helen

Imagine being excommunicated from your church because you made the choice to reach out to your daughter who was also excommunicated from the same church. Then, not only does your church kick you out, but so does your husband! Helen visits us from Australia with one of the most shocking stories of spiritual abuse you have ever heard in your life!

Talkback, etc.

Should churches be kicking people out more often these days?

Christian couples living together NO, but wife beaters YES? Smokers NO, but drunkards YES? Overeaters NO, but Homosexuals YES? The local sleazy car salesman NO, but the town whore YES? This is a tough one people. LOVE - GRACE - FORGIVENESS - DISCIPLINE... To judge or not to judge, is this the question? Have a read of 1 Corinthians 5 then give us a call!

Is the "n-word" really that offensive?

Has politically correct insanity hijacked freedom of speech or are we just more enlightened then the days of Archie Bunker? Every race group has some sort of slang word used to represent them. (Paki, Nigger, Wap, Kraut, Pollack, Jew, Jap, Chink, Spick, and yes... even CRACKER!) So what happened to "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me"?

Should spanking be outlawed in Canada?

United Nations special envoy, Stephen Lewis, and the president of UNICEF Canada, Nigel Fisher, are both calling on the federal government to rewrite the section of the Criminal Code that allows parents to spank their children. Do you think spanking should be made illegal or if done properly, is spanking actually a form of healthy discipline and love?

If your child disappeared, do you that think your faith could withstand it?

A little honesty here, people! Imagine it! Think it through! Eventually, could you possibly imagine yourself rejecting the reality of a God who hasn't answered your gut-wrenching cries for help? Maybe He wasn't even there to begin with?

Marriage! How have you survived it? Any tips or advice?

A survey to hopefully help all of us! If you've been married for any lasting duration, how the heck have you done it? Please, just give us battlers at least one tip on how to make it last!

Should Christians be watching TV or renting movies at all these days?

Does your family have any rules for watching or not watching something? Or do you feel that Christians are always making too big a deal of the whole "Be careful what you watch or you might do bad stuff yourself" thing?

Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire

O.C., C.M.M., M.S.C., C.D., LL.D. (Retired)
In 100 days - between April 6 and July 16, 1994 - an estimated 800,000 men, women and children were brutally killed in the African country of Rwanda. The victims - many horrifically hacked to death with machetes - were Tutsi, and moderate Hutus who supported them. General Dallaire was asked by the United Nations to ensure that peace was maintained in Rwanda. But he was criminally unsupported by U.N. headquarters and its Security Council in New York. Dallaire and his handful of soldiers were incapable of stopping the genocide. All he could do was Shake Hands With The Devil! This Remembrance Day, let us not forget the people of Rwanda.

Do you feel sorry for Ted Haggard or are you angry about yet another high profile pastor's secret life of sin?

Ted Haggard used to be the president of the National Association of Evangelicals (30 million members) and senior pastor of the 14,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs. Last week though, a Denver man claims that Haggard paid him for sex nearly every month for three years and sometimes took methamphetamine during their sexual rendezvous. So now, one of America's 25 most influential evangelicals with the ear of President Bush, has been shamed and fired. Dr. James A. Beverley joined us in this discussion. Jim is the Associate Director of the Institute for the Study of American Religion in Santa Barbara, California and a Professor at Tyndale Seminary in Toronto, Canada. Dr. Beverley's specialities include studies in World and New Religions, Charismatic Christianity, Roman Catholic Theology, and Christian Ethics.

The United Church of Canada has spent $10 million to get people back into a church where they are leaving by the droves. Was this a good use of money? Would you be happy if your denomination did this?

The United Church of Canada has launched a new $10.5 million advertising campaign in an attempt to get people back into their church. One of the advertisements shows a wedding cake with two groom figurines and asks the question: "Does anyone object?" Another shows a whipped cream bottle in the fridge along with the question: "How much fun can sex be before it's a sin?" The project is the largest campaign ever for the church and will include advertisements in magazines, community newspapers and on the Internet. A website, www.WonderCafe.ca, has been launched where all of the print advertisements can be viewed and it even has a discussion lounge where the controversial topics can be discussed.

Josh Weidmann — Author of "Dad, If You Only Knew...Eight Things Teens Want to Tell Their Fathers (but don't)"

As exasperating as parenting can be during these volatile years, your teen is depending on you for steady faithfulness, love, and guidance. And because teens often find words elusive and expression difficult, they probably haven't told you the things they wish you somehow automatically knew. Josh Weidmann, just out of the teen years himself, joins his father, James, to help dads understand where their kids are coming from. www.joshweidmann.com

Ron Hannah — President of Promise Keepers Canada

President of Promise Keepers Canada

Then things took a bad turn in Ron's life. His wife was diagnosed with a rare form of Cancer and died two years later. He lost interest in his job as Vice President of Duracell and left. Asking God what he should do for the rest of his life, God led Ron to join the team at Promise Keepers Canada. He now serves as their president, following the call to challenge every Canadian man with God's plan for their life

Did you have a problem with Drew interviewing a witch last week?

We only received one official complaint from someone who said that their family "actively chose not to listen" to the program. So we thought we'd ask all of you... did we cross the line by interviewing the High Priest of The Wiccan Church of Canada? (By the way, what does it say about Christians, that we received far more complaints when we interviewed Amy Grant?)

Kim Paffenroth — Author of Gospel of the Living Dead: George Romero's Visions of Hell on Earth

"Zombies are back," the New York Times declared recently, reporting a new crop of zombie films, books, and computer games. Why the enduring fascination with the undead? It's more than just gore: zombie movies offer insights into human nature, and even into theological concepts such as sin and redemption, says Kim Paffenroth, a scholar known for his studies of Saint Augustine and Flannery O'Connor. He turns his attention to the master of the zombie flick, George A. Romero, in his new book, Gospel of the Living Dead: George Romero's Visions of Hell on Earth.

What do you do for Halloween? Hide in your back room with the lights off?

Same question every year at this time... what is a Christian supposed to do on Halloween? Do you take your kids trick or treating? Does your church have a "Halloween Alternative"? Do you go to the office Halloween Party or do you stand outside and boycott? Why do you do what you do, or don't do?

Do you think that we can communicate with the dead?

Sometimes people have dreams of a deceased loved one... dreams that seem so real and bring such comfort. Are these a blessing from God, a trick of Satan or just our sub-conscious minds taking us to a familiar place? What about when a medium or channeler tells you things that only the deceased would know? How about praying to Mary?

Do you visit the grave of your loved one very much or hardly at all?

And on a slightly different matter, if your loved one was killed in the World Trade Center, would you want the remains they just found to be tested to see if there was a match? Or would it really matter to you at all? Just how attached are you to the dead?

Spencer Burke — Author of A Heretic's Guide To Eternity

"Christianity needs less religion and more heresy," says this former "Megachurch" pastor, now labeled by many, including himself, as a heretic! "Frankly, I was tired of consuming the resources of the church. I didn't want to just tell people what Jesus said we should do; I wanted to actually go do it with my community." He now lives out his faith with what the Los Angeles Times called "a church with no name"- gathering in a small group wherever the spirit moves them: in his home, garage, at a picnic in the park, or at an art gallery. "People have accused me over the years of not paying enough attention to Scripture, but the truth is, I have these crazy thoughts about love and grace and all the rest precisely because I do read the Bible. And Jesus, as far as I can tell, was the original heretic."

Talkback, etc.

Gossip... We all do it! But is there ever a time when it's actually appropriate to gossip?

Is just talking about someone gossip? Only if it's negative? Is it all right to seek advice about a conflict you're in with someone, in order to expedite resolution? Is it okay to talk about someone as long as your motives and attitude are in check and it doesn't become a lifestyle or habit? Maybe this is more about the spirit than the letter of the law! Maybe I just want to gossip and not feel guilty!

Legalism... In your opinion, what are some dumb church rules?

We spoke with Pastor Wayne Boadway from Royal City Baptist Church in Guelph, a church known for it's fairly strict and some would say "legalistic" views on Doctrine and Theology.

Should Madonna and husband, Guy Ritchie, have been allowed to adopt David, a 13-month-old boy from Malawi?

Human rights groups are challenging the adoption, claiming that Madonna used her fame and her donations of millions to an orphanage in Malawi to speed up the normal legal process. Should they have been allowed to adopt David, even though he has a father in Malawi? Would it have been better for him to remain in Malawi with his birth father?

Ron Shantz

Ron remembers what poverty was like as a preschooler and a teenager. How simple acts of kindness shaped his attitudes and gave him a chance to break the cycle of poverty in his own life, by giving him a strong work ethic and a compassionate heart. Born the youngest of 7 children, Ron was a juvenile delinquent who didn't get caught, skipped a lot of school, and did what he had to, to get the nice stuff other kids had. In spite of a lack of formal education he eventually held a high level position in the corporate world, because someone simply believed in him! After 20 years he left the corporate world and was called into ministry...now the Executive Director of Kerr Street Ministries!

What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of a "Christian"?

There are many who refuse to even call themselves a "Christian" and North America seems to be in a general state of confusion as to what a Christian really is. Overall though, would you say that you have a generally positive or negative interpretation of the word "Christian"?

Larry Norman

This rare 2-hour interview with The Godfather of the Christian Rock Movement was previously aired in 2005. With songs like "The Outlaw", "I Wish We'd All Been Ready", "U.F.O.", and "Why Don't You Look Into Jesus," Larry Norman forged ahead against the ultra-conservative church culture of the 50s & 60s, which wanted nothing to do with his so called "demon music."

In the last few weeks, Rhonda found out that Karrie has been lying to her. There is no HIV/AIDS or Cancer!
All those tears, time and money were for nothing!

Talkback, etc.

Does it really matter what you wear to church?

What about bare feet? What about the guy on the worship team who wears disco clothes from the 70's
or the girl singing up front who always wears her younger sister's top that shouldn't have gone in the
dryer? Should we dress up for Jesus and wear suits & ties or dresses & skirts, or does it really matter?

What advice would you give to Karrie or to those who have been hurt by her?

Karrie is a young mother of two who came on our show earlier this year and shared her story of living with
Cancer and HIV/AIDS. Many who were touched by her story, organized a fundraiser for her and gave of their time
and money. Turns out, Karrie was lying! What's your response to this news, especially those of you who donated
money to her? Should she be held accountable by the law, by those in her life or just prayed for and forgiven?

Do you let your kids sleep over at other people's houses?

Susan Moss

Susan grew up in a family filled with fighting, an alcoholic father, and too many
lousy childhood memories. On her father's birthday just a few years ago, her Dad shot himself twice,
but didn't actually die for a week. Susan believes that it was during this week that God did a miracle
in her Dad's life. What was she going to say at his funeral? What does anyone say when there's been a family suicide?

Talkback, etc.

Growing up, who was the person that had the greatest impact in your life as a teen?

What advice would you give teenagers today? If you had the opportunity to thank that person,
what would you say? If you had the chance to be a positive influence in a teenager's life today,
what one piece of advice would you give them?

Should Christians give children up for adoption?

If your teen became pregnant, would you rather they keep the baby or give the child up?
What if a couple has been married for years and their children are already grown, but now they're
faced with the "oops" scenario? Don't you think that as Christians, it's our responsibility to raise
these otherwise un-wanted children?

Do you have a problem with Bibles being printed with a cover that says "Jesus Loves Porn Stars?"

has finally found a publisher who is willing to produce these hot-pink and yellow Bibles to be handed
out at porn conventions. But is this going too far?

program called , which provides improved nutrition and access to formal education for the children in Kenya.
We'll chat with Krista in the middle of her ride!

Talkback, etc.

Do you think that Prime Minister Harper should have at least made an appearance at the International AIDS Conference in Toronto?

If you listen to the media it would seem that Stephen Harper committed the unpardonable sin. So was it a good move for him not to show up?

Should Christian parents provide birth control for their teens... just in case?

If Christian teens are just as sexual as their peers, (as statistics show) then should we be giving our kids proper
access to birth control? Or do you think that providing birth control encourages sexual activity? What would you do?

Do you know of anyone who struggles with issues around self harm and "cutting?"

Therapist Lynne Fenton takes your calls on this complex yet popular issue facing not only our teens
but various demographics of our society.

Saturday Survey — Now that AIDS has been around for approximately 25 years, do you still think it's God's judgment on man?

Remember back to when we first learned of HIV/AIDS? Were you part of that group that thought
this was God's wrath on gays? So, now what do you think?

Will you join us in our attempt at getting 10 African children sponsored, through Compassion Canada?

If you listen to our show regularly, and apparently more than 100,000 people do every week, than you know
we totally give our stamp of approval to Compassion Canada! You know we feel that they are without question,

Talkback, etc.

Why don't people like us? Why don't WE like us?

Macleans magazine reports that, "18 per cent of respondents to a recent poll, felt uneasy in the
presence of a Muslim. However, Canadians save their real suspicion for born-again Christians: 31 per
cent of Canadians are unhappy merely to meet one! But almost 80 per cent of Canadians, according to
the 2001 census, identify themselves as Christian, and that means unease about born-agains comes from
within the faith as well."

Prayer Requests!

At the risk of sounding like one of those "Jesus Shows," we just wanted to give you an opportunity to
what's on your heart and let all of us join you in petitioning God. No false promises, no plea for financial
help, no cheesy trinkets to give away if you send money! Just a promise to ACTUALLY pray for you!

Saturday Survey — Do you think Jesus will return within 25 years or less?

Does the escalation of war in the Middle East lead you to believe that we are living in the
"end times?" And if we are, how long have we been living in the "end times" for? Or is this just
the beginning of the end? Are you worried or excited?

genre: the Christian-themed graphic novel (Illustrated Christian Fiction). Now, Bob is more than an artist
and a writer, he is also a pioneer. Bob's journey to faith led him to ask, "If solid, scientific evidence
of Jesus' life and death exists, why did it take me 40 years to find it? Someone should present this information
in a format which reaches younger people, such as a comic book or a graphic novel."... DONE!

Journey

Aaron White

Aaron is one of those rare followers of Christ who believe that it's our job as
"Christians" to actually GO into the world, like one of the most hard core slums in Canada, and live
with those people Jesus loved the most... the least! You know you are doing the whole "incarnational ministry"
thing right when you actually get fired from a Church for bringing street teens in!

Talkback, etc.

What's the dumbest thing you've ever heard someone pray for?

Winning a talent competition or that your favourite team would win? How about parking spaces or that there be
no Police around when you really need to speed? Have you ever prayed for safety when doing something stupid and dangerous,
or asked God to help you win the Lottery?

Is it irresponsible for missionaries to take their children with them into unsafe locations

Don't you think that there are too many parents in "full-time ministry" who are screwing their kids
up enough, without willingly subjecting them to physical danger?

Saturday Survey — Who do you blame more for the un-rest in the Middle East?

Israel, Palestine, Muslims,
Iran, Iraq, Arabs, Terrorists or the USA?

Mark Galli

Christianity Today's managing editor, Mark Galli, has just released a book attempting to dispel
the notion that Jesus of Nazareth was a wimp... "Meek & Mild." According to Mark, the real Jesus was actually
"Mean and Wild." He issued stern orders, rebuked people, expressed exasperation and anger, and physically intimidated
people... even throwing them out of places. Jesus was a fierce Messiah!

Toronto gets approval for a new Gay radio station but a Catholic station is rejected?? — Is this something worth protesting over?

Canada's broadcast regulator, the CRTC, has approved a full-time homosexual radio station in Toronto,
a city where about 2 million of our 4.5 million, identify themselves as Catholic. This compared to many surveys,
which have demonstrated that only 1% of Canadians identify as homosexual.

Is the bikini is too skanky for a Christian girl to wear?

We recently celebrated 60 years of the bikini! But is it appropriate these days, for Christian girls to be wearing bikinis? What about the whole, "If it causes your brother to stumble..." thing? And then there's the whole "Muffin Top" phenomenon! And we don't even want to talk about Speedos or thongs!!!

Alison was visiting from Drew's old church in Australia. She has been battling Cancer for a number of
years now and was here in Toronto investigating the possibility of receiving healing through the ministry
of the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship. (Formerly known as the Airport Vineyard, famous for The
"Toronto Blessing.") Well now Alison is back in Australia and David is here working at Teen Ranch.
How does a teenage boy cope with the reality that his mother may not be around for that much longer?
What does this do to his Journey of Faith?

Talkback, etc.

Should ministries borrow money and then expect their supporters to help pay it off?

Does this bother you at all? Shouldn't we be "trusting God" to bring in the money BEFORE we make any big
moves? Maybe better fiscal planning and budgetary confines would be a healthier alternative and God just might
actually bless this sort of responsibility? Should ministries be in debt?

What is the #1 spiritual discipline that helps you grow spiritually?

Go to church - Read the Bible - Pray - Join a small group...Which one is the most important? Are there any
other ones you'd like to share which have helped you?

Saturday Survey — Are you happy with the government's proposal to raise the age of consensual sex from 14 to 16? Why?

Do you think it will really make any difference? Should the government even try to legislate morality
in a secular society? If this new law passes, 14 and 15 year olds who want to have sex must do so with a
partner who is less than five years older. The gay community is upset (what else is new?) because gay
males still aren't allowed to have anal sex until they are 18.

Special Guests

James Loney

From his four month captivity as a hostage in Iraq, desperately hiding his homosexuality from his
Islamic fundamentalist captors as his loved ones awaited his possible execution... to coming home and "coming out",
James Loney has been on every news coverage in Canada! This week, he and his partner were awarded the "Fearless Award"
at festivities during Gay Pride Week here in Toronto. And to cap it all off, James is claiming that the Knights of Columbus,
which finances the Ontario Catholic Youth Leadership Camp where he worked, is shutting down the camp after learning
that he was gay.

Professor Margaret Somerville

Ryerson students and faculty members wore rainbow-coloured stickers and
clothes protesting against the university granting an honorary degree to McGill University ethicist Margaret
Somerville. She is against same-sex marriage but supports gay rights. As she accepted the degree, two faculty
members at the ceremony held up a banner saying, "My Ryerson honours equal rights", and others turned their backs
in protest. Several faculty members refused even to attend the event. Former guest on TDMS, gay minister Brent Hawkes,
said the protest won't stop until the university "rescinds" Somerville's degree! Ryerson's president said the school
might not have offered Somerville the degree if it had known there would be such an angry reaction.

Pastor Brian Bulger

When was the last time you heard of a Pastor who has struggled for years with issues
around being an adult child of alcoholism, co-dependency, sexual abuse & sexual addiction? It's a rare thing to hear
a spiritual leader admit to such battles. Today, it finally becomes a reality!

Talkback, etc.

How should a Christian ministry respond when they discover that one of their employees is openly gay?

Should they fire the person? Is this even legal? What if they're just a volunteer? What if they've signed
a "code of conduct" upon commencement of employment?

"Gay Pride" or "Gay Arrogance"?

Is it just me or is the whole "gay pride" and "gay rights" thing going too far these days?
Doesn't it seem like it's "gay arrogance?" Do heterosexuals feel like your rights are now being infringed upon?
Is liberal democracy slowly eroding the rights of the majority? "Freedom of expression" and "equal rights" seems
to be rather self serving in the gay community these days.

THE SATURDAY SURVEY — Do you believe that a Pastor from Africa was actually raised from the dead?

A few years ago, a Pastor in Africa was apparently raised from the dead during a Reinhard Bonkee crusade.

Is multiculturalism actually the cause of terrorism in Toronto?

Isn't that the problem with Canada? We're kind, and liberal, and multicultural but in the end…

We'll chat with Mark Kelley, a 15-year veteran of CBC News.

while dealing with her own "family baggage?" Growing up with all the fighting... the poverty... feeling shame and grief because of choices
her parents made, and her mother's mental health problems. Then eventually ending up in the foster care system. Not having had the healthy
role models to learn from, wouldn't that make you question what kind of a parent you might be? Why so much for one person, God?

Dr. Stan Porter, President of McMaster Divinity, has co-written a book debunking the ludicrous claims of

Get your mom to listen this Saturday, then surprise her by calling in!
(No matter what kind of relationship you have with your mom these days,
please stop whatever you're doing right now and give your mom a call and just
tell her how much you appreciate her. Will you do that for me? Cause I don't
have a mom to talk to anymore and I waited 'til it was too late to say the
important things to my mother. Don't wait for Mother's day to get here to do
what's right... Talk to her today, not just when it's Mother's Day!)

Are mothers more important than fathers?

If a couple gets divorced, why do the courts tend to automatically
side with the mother? Do you think mothers make better single parents than fathers?

Tri Robinson

Over hundreds of years, the church championed the beauty of God's creation, demonstrating in
many ways how it points to the Creator. However, over the last century, the evangelical church has let the value of
caring for creation slip away. In Saving God's Green Earth, author and pastor Tri Robinson makes a compelling case
for the biblical precedence behind environmental stewardship and shows the church what it can do about this eroding
value.

So hey! It's spring and let's face it… we're all fat! Let's finally do something about it! Let's take care of the
temple, people!!!

Talkback, etc.

Do you think we're making too much of a deal about environmental issues or not enough?

Why is it that when Christians who care about the environment go on conservative talk shows, they get ripped
apart and not supported? Why is the environment predominately a Liberal issue? Isn't it the Bible believing
Christian who is especially supposed to be a "good steward" of God's creation? Then why do we hardly ever hear
messages on this in church? Hey, if the conservative evangelicals won't do what's right, don't get all stupid about
the Liberals or New Ager's taking up the slack!

When was the last time you had something "supernatural" happen to you?

Talkback, etc.

Should new verses be added to the Bible?

The BCTAF - "Biblical Clarification Through Amendment Foundation" - spearheaded by Christian leaders, wants
to add three verses to Scripture to clarify misconceptions and confusion about debates within the Evangelical church.
The three issues BCTAF are pushing forward, pertain to the way in which we aid the poor, regional church priorities
and drinking alcohol. (Sit back and enjoy this remarkable piece of satire! Isn't this the underlying message behind
what a lot of the Christian agenda? Don't we add to the Bible in so many ways?)

WHY JESUS?

It's Easter! Why do you believe Jesus is who he said He was? Do you really believe that following Jesus is
the right way to do life? WHY JESUS? (Why is it that people had such a hard time answering this question?)

Talkback, etc.

Should couples stay together just for the kids, or should they face the music and just divorce?

There seems to be a growing trend towards couples staying together for the sake of the kids. Are you and your
spouse doing this? When they get old enough, are you planning on divorcing? What age do your children need to be,
before the damage and impact becomes "minimal?" If you're in a "loveless" marriage, do you think God wants more for
you?

Does swearing bother you? Do you swear casually?

Would you say something to someone who was swearing around you? Do you use words that were considered swear words 20 years ago but aren't today? Which swear words offend you and which ones don't? (How the heck are we gonna do this friggin' topic on the stinkin' radio?)

Brenda Rutledge

Brenda has experienced the life of a Pastor's wife! She has experienced both the highs and
the abusive lows of being married to the church's "Bull's Eye!"

Talkback, etc.

Will you watch the Ron Howard & Tom Hanks film, "The DaVinci Code" or will you boycott it?

Some people are saying that Christians shouldn't see it, some people are saying they should actually see
another movie that week (because that's what Hollywood will notice) and still others are saying that Christians should see it so that we're able to engage in conversation with those in our circles who might be confused by this movie's fictional message!

Do you know of a pastor who has been abused by their church? How about their wife or kids?

We hear story after story of pastors being hung out to dry, over-worked, abused by "Board Members" or
congregants, their wives gossiped about and the kids expected to be perfect little angels! Why does this happen?
How can we stop it? What can we do to protect or encourage our pastors? Has it happened to you? What have you done
for your pastor lately?

Should the U.S. Government step in and save the life of an Afghani Muslim who converted to Christianity?

Isn't this the country that Americans rid of the Taliban because of its religious oppression? Isn't this the country
where American's have spent at least $70 billion to establish a free democratic government, and it cost American's
300 American lives and 800 casualties? And now they want to execute a man for becoming a Christian after
he saw other Christians caring for his own countrymen. Or should the Yanks just stay out of it?

Man... what a story this guy has. And it's all in his book called, "Once Life Matters - A New Beginning."

Talkback, etc.

Does God love homosexuals or does he want to destroy them?

After last week's show we got an email from a self proclaimed “Prophet to the nation of CANADA” who spoke the
Righteous Right Hand of his GOD, be against Drew and his radio program. He feels that the Bible is clear that gays & lesbians
should be stoned! We still say that God made them and God loves them… what say you?

Do you think that "street preachers" do more harm than good?

When you walk through the city, are you embarrassed by the loudmouths for Jesus? Or are you impressed by their boldness?

Are short-term mission trips really worth it?

VISION TV PRESS RELEASE - "Every year, as many as four million North American Christians travel to developing
countries on "short-term missions." They visit for a week or two, work with the poor, spread the gospel, and return
home feeling the warm glow of Christian fellowship. It's idealistic, admirable and - according to some experts -
almost completely useless. In a special two-part documentary report, March 20 and 27 at 10 p.m. ET, the VisionTV
current affairs series "360 Vision" looks at the short-term mission phenomenon, and finds out why many people in
developing nations wish that missionaries would just stay home. Critics charge that most of the money spent on
missions goes to pay for hotels and airfare, and that the poor benefit little from these flying visits."
To find out more, we speak with 360 Vision's Kevin O'Keefe!

Talkback, etc.

Should gay or lesbian students be expelled from Christian Universities?

Should Christian Universities engage gay activists in dialogue or not even give them the time of day?
Jacob Reitan explains to us the reason for the protest rallies at various Christian Universities and Colleges,
which discriminate against gay and lesbian students. In other words, gays and lesbians can go there, they just
can't be gay or lesbian. Like this weekend for example, they were arrested at Liberty University, because big Jerry
Falwell warned that they would be arrested if they stepped foot on the campus.

Is it OK for a Christian to go out on a date with an un-believer?

We're talking, just one date! It just seems that there's a definite shortage of quality Christian guys and
members of Christian singles groups seem to play so many games... so what's wrong with going out on just ONE date with
someone who hasn't quite landed on the same spiritual path as you... YET! Anne Sharp joins us briefly to talk about her
dating life! Anne is an independent publicist with 17 years of experience in corporate marketing & PR with major

skipped school and people took a day off work! A little while ago in Dallas, people were OUTRAGED when Police shot
and killed a Gorilla who escaped from the Zoo and mauled 3 people including a 3-year old. What's the most you would

as a result of this new reality!

Talkback, etc.

Do you think there are people who are so evil that they just need a bullet?

The only thing that will help them is the death penalty or maybe a sound beating from Chuck Norris. Are you in favour of Capitol Punishment?

Should a divorced Christian get married again?

Isn't remarriage going against God's Word? Aren't we justifying it because of our own selfish desires...
Loneliness, sexual intimacy, a fresh start and chance for new love? Or is there total freedom in this issue?

Do you have to get baptized in order to get to heaven?

Is Baptism necessary for Salvation? How do we interpret this in light of Mark 16:16 & Acts 2:38?

worked with teenagers and their parents for over 30-years. During that time he has come to realize that there is a

scared by the rapidly changing world of children and teens. On the other side stand children and teens longing for
parents and other significant adults who are willing and able to help them through the confusing maze of today's
youth culture, leading them to an emotionally and spiritually healthy adulthood.

Ever wanted to ask an ex-Jehovah's Witness why they left the organization?

Peter Mosier was a previous guest on our show who grew up in a Jehovah's Witness family, then came to the
realization that what he was being raised to believe wasn't standing up to scrutiny. Subsequently, he put together
a fantastic website, simply showing primary resource material (stuff JW's say about themselves and their beliefs)
then highlighted various points of interest... things to make you say "Hmmm!" The WatchTower Bible and Tract
Society of Pennsylvania sued Peter, seeking a reported $100,000 in damages and a court order to silence the
website. Well, they achieved their goal... they silenced Peter's website! But another one popped up!
Peter Mosier takes your calls!

Should a parent ever kick their teenager out of the house?

Is this something that a "good Christian" parent should do? Could you do it?

Now that Stephen Harper is our Prime Minister, what would you like him to do first?

keep his promises, daycare?

Special Guests

Candace Cameron Bure

Known for her role as "DJ Tanner" on "Full House," and as the sister of Kirk Cameron
from "Growing Pains," Candace has since moved on in life, raising a family of her own and marrying NHL hockey
sensation Valeri Bure. (Currently playing for the L. A. Kings) Candace was 12 years old when she first decided to
surrender her life to Jesus - she was brought to church with her family by some friends. But, she confesses,
it wasn't until a few years ago that she really found out what being Christian was all about. (Oh... and her mother makes the BEST
cookies in the Universe! Thanks Mom!!!!)

Talkback, etc.

Is it right to get angry at God?

Have you ever been so angry at God that it shook your Faith? This week, Drew lost a good friend in a snowmobile
accident... a young mother of 3. Two weeks ago, another friend of his, lost his wife to Cancer... another young
mother of 3. WHY?
(Dedicated to the memory of Joanne Stevenson & Nancy Boschman.)

How are you feeling about everyone apologizing for the Muslim cartoons?

The US, British & Danish governments, and even the independent paper are all saying sorry. Do you think that
an apology is in order or is the Muslim community over reacting yet again?

Special Guests

Mike and Harriet McManus

As the founders of "Marriage Savers," Mike & Harriet are helping churches and
communities cut their divorce rate and raise their marriage rate! They have helped the clergy in 200 cities adopt
a Community Marriage Policy, an agreement across denominational lines, to make marriage such a priority in their
churches that divorce rates actually fall! Their work has attracted national media coverage including CBS,
ABC World News Tonight, CBS "48 Hours," and NBC Nightly News. Marriage Savers also has been featured in The
Wall Street Journal, USA Today, TIME, Newsweek & The Washington Post. Mike McManus is frequently called upon an

How are you feeling about the Federal Election?

Were you pleased with the results? How do you feel about Stephen Harper as our next Prime Minister?
Were you shocked that Belinda Stronach got back in? Were you surprised at just how blindly Liberal Toronto really
is?
Special Guest - Janet Epp Buckingham, Director of Law & Public Policy for the Evangelical Fellowship of
Canada

Is marriage worth it?

Seriously! Is marriage something you would recommend to your single friends? Do you wish you were single
again? And if you're single... are you sure you wanna do this?

WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE?

What should a parent do if they catch their teenager masturbating? How would you approach this very "touchy" subject? Is masturbation a sin?

to discuss a way forward amidst the recent rise in crime and gun violence in one of the most multicultural
cities in the world!

Curtis Sliwa

The Founder & Leader of The Guardian Angels also recently visited Toronto. In a city weary
of more bloodshed, following a record-setting year in 2005 for gun related homicides, Curtis Sliwa and the Guardian
Angels are still finding resistance from city officials and police.

Talkback, etc.

What do you think is the #1 reason for the escalating violence in our major cities?

Is there anything we can do or is it just inevitable? Do we need the Guardian Angels? Do you even think
it's that big a deal or has the press just made this their "flavour of the day?"

What's your advice?

We recently got an email requesting prayer from you folks, about a very tricky situation. Other than asking you to pray
for this woman, we sought your advice! She finds herself wanting to not live together with the father of her child
because he is not a follower of Christ and she is struggling spiritually. He is refusing to do any pre-marriage counselling and has told her that he doesn't
want to marry her just yet. What do you think she should do?

Should pastors fly First Class?

The wife of Joel Osteen, pastor of the natio's largest church, was apparently asked to leave a plane
after she failed to comply with a flight attendant's instructions, according to the FBI. However, since
we all know we can't trust the press, consider this:
-The FBI told Drew that they feel the whole thing is a "non-issue."
-Continental refused to make any comment... NICE! More than a little suspicious.
-A representative from Joel Osteen's mega-church made some very compelling points.
SO... we thought the bigger question was actually... Why were they even flying First Class in the first place?

Is it ever right to lie?

Think about it... we all know that lying is a sin. But what about encouraging your child at a sport
or interest in which he or she is totally useless, with words like, "Wow, are you ever good at that, Billy!"?
Or, what if a killer, who is chasing a woman (whom you just saw go into a store to hide), asks you if you saw her?
Do you think there are occasions when you know you'd probably lie?

BRAG ON YOUR PASTOR!

Some people have said that Drew is too hard on pastors and that he needs to be more positive
and talk about "happy" things. So this is your opportunity to call in and ... "Brag On Your Pastor!"
The pastor with the most amount of brags will be invited onto the show in the near future to share
their spiritual journey.
